Fungus Infested Cellar Spider

Dear Mary, When it was alive, this Cellar Spider was not a threat to humans. Like most Spiders, Cellar Spiders are venomous, but the bite is not considered a threat to humans. This Cellar Spider is dead and being consumed by Fungus. Cellar Spiders with Fungus Infestations are relatively common in our archives.

Thank you! Quite an unusual image When I put the photo in google images Google identified it as some kind of light. ( does look like lightning) Wondering if the mold that killed the spider is dangerous to humans..
